below that: spinach and strawberry salad with poppy seed dressing.  it's by far my favorite salad (and maybe my only)

below that (bottom right): my little lily pad.  i can't believe how fast she is growing.  my heart aches to see her.

well i'm off to a shower and two weddings this weekend.  sure it'll be busy, but it will be lovely and happy and fun (and everything good)!

artprize

hardcore parkour!

this was jess' favorite

we found amanda on a piece of art!

i had a beautiful night last night with some friends at artprize downtown grand rapids.  even though it was a little cold, we enjoyed all of the art and each others company of course.

bridal shower!

two of my dear friends, liz and travis, are getting married!  i am so excited and happy for them!  in proper wedding fashion, we threw a shower for liz! the girls from my college bible study/young adult small group (we don't really have an official name) got together and planned a church shower for liz.  (girls, you are so awesome!)

i'm so blessed to have liz (and travis) in my life.  i've known both of them for a few years now.  we've shared laughs, tears, and life together.  they are just such a wonderful testimony to God's love and providence.  i truly cannot wait to see where the Lord takes them :)

here are some photos of setting up and pictures from the shower...

My wish list!

boy it's been a while since i've blogged.  i've been so busy, and not taking a lot of pictures in the meantime.  i've been having fun planning a shower (pictures to come) and spending part of my day packing for camping this weekend!
